How to Make Baked Shrimp In Foil
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a bowl, soften 4 tablespoons of butter until very soft.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and gently mix into the softened butter.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined.
- Juice 1 lemon and add the juice to the butter mixture. Stir to combine.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste).
- Rinse 2 pounds of shrimp thoroughly and leave the shells on.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the butter mixture.
- Place shrimp mixture into a large oven-safe bag or double-layered sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (if using foil, ensure it's large enough to hold shrimp in no more than two layers). Add 2 lemon slices to the bag/foil.
- Seal the bag or foil packet tightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer, up to a few hours).
- Place the sealed bag/packet on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, gently shake the bag/packet to redistribute the shrimp, flip it over, and bake for another 15 minutes.
- After 30 minutes of baking, carefully check the shrimp. They should be pink and cooked through. If not, bake for another 5-10 minutes, checking frequently.
- Carefully cut open the bag/foil with a knife and transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with a fresh salad. Enjoy!
